------------------------+--------------------
 I'm trying to fix an old port by fetching its distfiles from archive.org.
 archive.org is having some problem today where I have to refresh its pages
 several times before it shows me the information I want; other times I get
 various connection errors. In addition, connections to
 "distfiles.macports.org" will not succeed because on my network that is
 mapped to a custom server that is offline right now.

 Trying to fetch the modified port with MacPorts (on High Sierra) I got
 this output:

 {{{

 Regardless of how badly the servers from which I'm downloading are
 behaving, I should never see an "error message" like `½œÅ`.
